The net turnover for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was EUR 19,935,033 compared with EUR 17,180,247 for the same period in 2022 representing an increase of 16%. The net turnover is mainly composed of income from operating a real estate portfolio in Hungary and the Netherlands. The main reason of the increase in sales is the impact from the acquisition of the Pathé Arena property at the end of December 2022, the improvement of the Hungarian Forint compared to the 2022 comparable period and an overall improvement in business activity in Hungary.
The overall income for the six months amounts to EUR 19,939,428 which is impacted by the net sales and the financial revenue (30 June 2022: EUR 17,190,423).
The net result for the six months is a gain amounting to EUR 4,552,042 (30 June 2022: EUR 3,294,097).
During the period the group acquired 178,841 of its own shares at a cost of Euro 540,237.
The group sold 900,000 dividend preference shares to key members of management at 0.42 Euro per share and paid a dividend of Euro 90,000 which has been included as part of the salary cost of the group.
The Group's business, financial condition or results can be affected by risks and uncertainties. Management has identified the following risks that are relevant for the period to date and the remaining second half of the year:
Management monitors these risks and applies the following risk management procedures:
Financial instruments that potentially represent risk for the Group include deposits, debtors and credit balances denominated in foreign currency, creditors in foreign currency and deposits in foreign currency other than EUR. The Group's rental contracts are stipulated in EUR or on EUR basis thus mitigating FX risk associated with non-EUR based revenues. As of 30 June 2023, the Group does not have any open forward transactions.
The Group aims to mitigate lending risk by its careful and continuous debtor portfolio monitoring process and by requiring bank guarantees and collateral. In addition, the Group regularly follows up information about the main debtors in the market. Concentrations of credit risk, with respect to trade accounts receivable, are limited due to the large number of customers and due to the dispersion across geographical areas. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis.
Investments of surplus funds are made only with reliable counterparties and are allocated between more banks and financial institutions in order to mitigate financial loss through potential counterparty failure.
Liquidity risk is monitored as follows:
The Group has operations in Luxembourg, in the Netherlands and in Hungary. By the geographical diversification of the operations, the Group mitigates the effects of country risk. Notwithstanding the, as yet unknown, impact of the global coronavirus pandemic, the Group has not identified any significant risks that may affect the financial performance of Group members associated with the countries in which the Group operates. Further as members of the European Union and the legal structure associated with it, management believes that country risk is not a matter of significant concern.

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2022 annual report.
The Group has applied the same accounting policies and methods of computation in its interim consolidated financial statements as in its 2022 annual financial statements, except for the following amendments which apply for the first time in 2023.
The following new standards and amendments are effective for the period beginning 1 January 2023:
IFRS 17 was issued by the IASB in 2017 and replaces IFRS 4 for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.IFRS 17 introduces an internationally consistent approach to the accounting for insurance contracts. Prior to IFRS 17, significant diversity has existed worldwide relating to the accounting for and disclosure of insurance contracts, with IFRS 4 permitting many previous accounting approaches to be followed. Since IFRS 17 applies to all insurance contracts issued by an entity (with limited scope exclusions), its adoption may have an effect on non-insurers such as Fotex.
The Group carried out an assessment of its contracts and operations and concluded that the adoption of IFRS 17 has had no effect on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements, providing guidance to help entities meet the accounting policy disclosure requirements. The amendments aim to make accounting policy disclosures more informative by replacing the requirement to disclose 'significant accounting policies' with 'material accounting policy information'. The amendments also provide guidance under what circumstance, the accounting policy information is likely to be considered material and therefore requiring disclosure. These amendments had no effect on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as they relate to disclosures of accounting policies in complete financial statements rather than interim financial statements. The amendments are expected to be applicable for the accounting policy disclosures in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The amendment to IAS 8, which added the definition of accounting estimates, clarifies that the effects of a change in an input or measurement technique are changes in accounting estimates, unless resulting from the correction of prior period errors. These amendments clarify how entities make the distinction between changes in accounting estimate, changes in accounting policy and prior period errors.
These amendments had no effect on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.
In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, which clarify whether the initial recognition exemption applies to certain transactions that result in both an asset and a liability being recognised simultaneously (e.g. a lease in the scope of IFRS 16). The amendments introduce an additional criterion for the initial recognition exemption, whereby the exemption does not apply to the initial recognition of an asset or liability which at the time of the transaction, gives rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
These amendments had no effect on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.
There have been no significant events and transactions that have occurred since 31 December 2022, specifically:

| Revenue from contracts with customers | 6,563,730 | 6,085,200 |
| Total sales revenue | 19,935,033 | 17,180,247 |
The revenues generated by the group increased during the period. The main reasons for this increase in sales is the impact from the acquisition of the Pathé Arena in Amsterdam at the end of December 2022, the improvement of the Hungarian Forint compared to the 2022 comparable period, the further development of crystal sales and an overall improvement in the business activity in Hungary.

| Total sales revenue | 6,563,730 | 6,085,200 |
Revenues from selling of goods are generated primarily by sales of crystal and glass products in EUR and USD. The reason of the increase of sales is the increase in demand.

The groups' core activity is the provision of real estate to tenants through its investment property portfolio. These assets earn rent on a systematic basis throughout the year, with no contractual adjustments that effect the flow of income to the group. As a result, group revenues are unaffected by any seasonality. The costs of the running the business are also similarly unaffected. As a result, these financial statements require no further information to assist the user in understanding the seasonal effects on the business at the half year, nor for the remainder of the full year.
Tax is charged at 21.4 % for the six months ended 30 June 2023 (30 June 2022: 13.2%) representing the best estimate of the average annual effective tax rate expected to apply for the full year, applied to the pre-tax income of the six month period. The increase in the tax for the 6 month period is mainly arising from the increase in effective rate in the Netherlands due to a limitation in depreciation deductions as well as an overall increase in profitability from new property purchases in the Netherlands where the incremental rate is 25.5%.
The group repaid all of its outstanding loans in accordance with the normal terms of the loan agreements. As of June 30th, 2023, the group has no external debt.
The group sold 900,000 dividend preference shares to key members of management at 0.42 Euro per share and paid a dividend of Euro 90,000 which has been included as part of the compensation cost of the group.
During the period the group acquired 178,841 of its own shares at a cost of Euro 540,237.
The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group's assets and liabilities.
The Group considers that the carrying amount of the following financial assets and financial liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair value:
Management formally assesses the fair values of its assets and liabilities as of December 31 each year. For the purposes of the disclosed financial information, management has assessed that there are no material differences between the fair values as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.
